Summary

The phenomena and effects of host-controlled modification (HCM) as described in the literature are comprehensively discussed. The review includes the occurrence of HCM, the restriction and modification caused by HCM, its influence on bacterial and phage crosses, and the function of restricted genes. Besides, genetic control of HCM and mutual effects of HCM and UV-irradiation are reviewed.
